Gunpowder Blues

Ode to Kai

dedicated to my first love

-

when the fragmented cobwebs

erase your sight

and the peels of your elusive skin

become withered-

crumpled like the messy paper of discarded love notes-

remember i loved you so ferociously.

my knife was your ally

a companion on those starless nights

where light could never permeate your tough membrane

and my swords were the penmanship

of love poetry written in curtains of blood.

we were twin flames

for a temporary moment in human history;

the firestarters on the beach

of flint and firestone.
